Peter Rohde (born 19 November 1964) came from the Bendigo region and made his Victorian Football League (VFL) debut for Carlton Football Club in 1985, transferring to Melbourne Football Club in 1988 and retiring in 1995.^[1] Later he would achieve success with Norwood in the South Australian National Football League as a coach,^[2] ultimately leading to his appointment as an assistant coach at the Western Bulldogs.

Towards the end of the 2002 season, the resignation of incumbent senior coach Terry Wallace led to Rohde being made caretaker senior coach for the final round clash with Collingwood at the MCG which the Bulldogs won. However, after being given the position of full-time senior coach for the 2003 season, the Bulldogs under Rohde struggled and finished 16th in the last position on the ladder for the wooden spoon with three wins, eighteen losses and one draw and in the 2004 season, the Bulldogs under Rohde struggled again and finished 14th with five wins and seventeen losses. Rohde was eventually sacked during the 2004 season, with four matches left to go, which Rohde agreed to coach and stay for the rest of the season.^[3] Rohde coached Western Bulldogs to a total of 45 games with nine wins and 35 losses and one draw to a winning percentage of 20 percent. Rohde was then replaced by Rodney Eade as Western Bulldogs Football Club senior coach.

Rohde then went to serve as part of the Football Department as Football Operations Manager at the Port Adelaide Football Club from 2005 until the end of the 2014 season.^[4] He has three children, Matthew, Ashleigh and Ella, and is married to Robyn.
